Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Recently the Church celebrated the beautiful Feast of the Visitation. As I listened to the story again at Mass, the phrase “Jump for Joy” literally “jumped” out at me.

During the many trying times I have had in the past four or five years, I have concentrated on figuring out how exactly to handle my situation. How is Jesus calling us to act when we are being attacked? He knows that this world is a treacherous place. He is sending us out as delicate and fragile sheep. We are vulnerable and we are prey to the wolves.
